This thread is designed as an easy, quick-reference guide to the most popular Standard decks for the 2007 Nationals season (August/September). The entries simply provide a sample decklist, and sometimes some extra information. Index:

Other cards to consider are Manabarbs, Ancient Grudge, Utopia Vow, or Tormod’s Crypt for the board, as well as perhaps Scorched Rusalka as an addition to the creature base, and Moldervine Cloak for the mirror match.

Replace the Magus of the Scroll with Martyr of Ashes, and work a couple Pithing Needle or Manabarbs in the board instead of the Sulfur Elementals, and you have the archetypical version. Other options include adding a couple lands and Giant Solifuge.

This archetype can take many shapes; instead of Tarmogoyf and Careful Consideration, one may see Dimir Hourse Guard or Clutch of the Undercity to tutor, or Aeon Chronicler to draw, or cards like Sudden Death; many possibilities in these colors.
